Kyns - I was so excited because I thought I was going to see a picture of you. As beautiful as your DD is and Lil' Lill's boy friend is, I can only imagine your beauty. If you ever decide you need a PEN15 club girlfriend, you let me know. I'm still on the market.

Sara - I have been meaning to tell you CONGRATULATIONS on the job. I hope you feel better, so your first day can be awesome.

Sandra - I am so happy that the others showed you some love today. You needed it, and I was swamped at work. You are definitely loved! I hope you get your yoga on very soon.

My mom sent me a dutch oven (the kind used for cooking) for my birthday. I made an awesome pot roast. It had been years since I had cooked one. It turned out as amazing as ever; actually better because the dutch oven hooked it up. I have a knack for pot roast. For real.

In other, yet similar, news, I am going to step away from you ladies for a bit so I can read my Pillsbury Christmas cookbook that just arrived in the mail. Winter/fall is so bad on my hips. It is cold, I love to read cookbooks/watch cooking shows, and I love to cook. Warm food fills my coldness with warmth. Thank goodness winter only lasts about 2-4 weeks in my area.
